EXCELLENT Magic!! Your post really helped me to put things in perspective. The only real difference between OCD and alcoholism is that OCD doesn't change who the person IS, where alcoholism does
I tend to think of the alcoholic side of my exA as a separate entity. He is a totally different person when he drinks... it's that Dr. Jeckyll/ Mr Hyde thing. There is no doubt in my mind that Mr.Hyde was an alcoholic!!
